Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The orbitals involved in the π bond of carbon and phosphorus in PPh3=CH2 are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The reaction of an aldehyde or a ketone with ethylidenetriphenylphosphine that is phosphorous ylides results in the formation of alkene as the final product. This reaction is commonly known as Wittig reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The resonance structure for the Wittig reagent is to be drawn.
